If what you're saying is true, I guess we can infer that ZA is not a
reasonable "personal firewall"? :)

You didn't specify *what* didn't work, at least in your first post.
Details are important, I guess specifying the version of BIND used,
the version of ZA used wouldn't hurt, plus the things you are trying
to achieve... This seems more like a ZoneAlarm question, though, I'm
not sure how many people on this list have played with it that much.

What kind of tests? Last time I used ZA, if you stopped ZA no traffic
at all would be let through, IIRC, so that scenario shouldn't be
expected to work anyway.
